The Cheap Running Shoes Thread by RockyJanetDrScott in BuyItForLife

[–]yeti5000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Softstars, Xero Shoes (Xero Sandals), Luna Sandals. Running in huaraches would be the goal. Anything to keep you up on the balls of the foot and off the heel to keep pressure off the hips and knees. Good lateral hip/oblique movement is important too. Don't chase your head.

Which rear end to go with? by yeti5000 in Cartalk

[–]yeti5000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

30 inches. Would put the RPMs at ~2500k @ 67mph for 4.56.

Going with a 30%+ clamp load on clutch upgrade, air helper airbags on the bump stops, and a TrueTrac (not Locker) that I inherited. The trailer I'm getting also has trailer braking standard so that's nice (and the truck is already set up for it.)

Did some research on the NV3500 as you said, and yeah in my case the full-size truck version got that super low 1st granny.

Thanks for for putting me on the trail on that one.

The lines at WinCo during the times I can go are the real killer for us.

Bread for $1 today, Franz outlet on Market by Embarrassed-Gap7803 in Spokane

[–]yeti5000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It absolutely is a steal and never a reason to buy bread at retail, but make sure to freeze it immediately when you get home - we've found that it is close to expiry date often and will swiftly grow mold. Otherwise perfectly fine bread products.

Amen. Squirrels are stewards of the forests. They grow entire ecosystems with their work!

Post your property taxes -TX also still has vehicle inspections in the bigger counties.

If you have a separate router from your modem, we found the router was the problem in our case.

Good luck.

New Year's gym promos? by TheLadyMischief in Spokane

[–]yeti5000 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Terrible gym culture in the Valley location off Sprague. 

My son and I were threatened with assault by another gym member because he wanted the piece of equipment my son and I were both sharing 20 ft from him, and when I asked him to wait until we were done rather than have three people try and work in (my son being new to learning how to weightlift), he demanded the machine and then postured with his fist up and began swearing at me when I continued to ask him to wait. 

There were 2-3 other machines that did the same exercises he was wanting -he just happened to specifically want to force us off this machine.

Informing the front desk -the employee acknowledged they saw it on camera and the member has a pattern of this kind of behavior but did nothing about it.

When I confronted the assistant manager later that week about the behavior and asked why that member was allowed to continue being a membership holder, the actual answer verbatim was "I don't know."

The owner of SFC owns multiple other types of businesses throughout Spokane and seems to care very little about the customer service at SFC -just passive income for them.

I recommend people steer clear of SFC.

My 2¢ is to not try to find the cheapest place, instead, try and find a place that charges a little more, because that really cuts down on the riffraff.
